I really like my Voigtlander 40/2. It’s a gem that I highly recommend.
James, in fact, the very lens has tempted me for quite a long time...
It certainly is!
Thank you, Lars!
Jack: are the plants I show unrelated to bamboo?
Frank, thank you for your contribution. Although the plant in your images is indeed Equisetum, as Jack pointed out, and not of the bamboo family. But in Japan, we used to use Equisetum to smoothen the the bamboo-made tea scoop for the Japanese tea ceremony. So they are related.
